There is a certain amount of irony that people try really hard to say that hallucinations are not a big problem anymore and then a company that would benefit from that narrative gets directly hurt by it.

Which of course they are going to try to brush it all away. Better than admitting that this problem very much still exists and isn’t going away anytime soon.

I think that’s why Apple is very slow at rolling out AI if it ever actually will. Downside is way too big than the upside.

You say slowly, but in my opinion Apple made an out of character misstep by releasing a terrible UX to everyone. Apple intelligence is a running joke now.

Yes they didn't push it as hard as, say, copilot. I still think they got in way too deep way too fast.

What about Apple Maps? That roll-out was awful.

>>throwa+JU4
Apple had their hand forced by Google on that one afaik.

Yes they knew Apple maps was bad and not up to standard yet, but they didn't really have any other choice.

Of course they had a choice: they could have stuck with google maps for longer, and they probably also could have invested more in data and UI beforehand. They could have launched a submarine non-apple-branded product to test the waters. They could likely have done other things we haven't thought of here, in this thread.

Quite plausibly they just didn't realize how rocky the start would be, or perhaps they valued that immediate strategic autonomy more in the short-term that we think, and willingly chose to take the hit to their reputation rather than wait.

Regardless, they had choices.
